The Niobrara Valley Electric Goodwill Fund was incorporated in June of 1996 by the directors of Niobrara Valley Electric Membership Corporation, so members could voluntarily raise funds for community projects through the Operation Round Up Goodwill Fund. All donations are placed in the Niobrara Valley Goodwill Fund corporation which is administered by an independent Board of Directors. The board is made up of community leaders who serve on a voluntary basis. It is this board who receives the funds, evaluates all funding requests and decides how the donations to the fund will be distributed. Typically, the funding is used to address crucial needs such as medical care, emergency shelter, and life saving equipment, but it is not limited to these categories.
Since 1996, the Goodwill Fund has received over $180,000 in donations and dispersed over $170,000 to organizations and individuals within the cooperatives service territory.
